Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 182: I Have My Pride Too
’I know I probably didn’t make the best impression when I first arrived at the tribe.’
’When your suspicions vanished in an instant for a reason like that, did you ever consider that I have my pride, too?’
But after a few deep breaths, she swallowed her internal complaints.
The most important thing right now was the cubs.
She brought out her two small buckets, mixed the hot water from the stone pot with the cool water in the buckets, and tested the temperature.
The water was on the cooler side. The Beastmen here were used to bathing directly in the river, so they couldn’t handle water that was too hot.
A Half beastman cub was placed in a small bucket. The little one showed no signs of a feline’s fear of water, sitting there obediently.
It would occasionally bat at the lukewarm water with its chubby little paws. Its two small ears, which had been drooping just a moment ago, now twitched cheerfully.
Using a small ball of bundled dry grass, she scrubbed the muddy water off the cub, then wrapped it in the Beast Skin they had brought and placed it in a grass nest.
Once cleaned, the cubs transformed into adorable little fluffballs of all different kinds.
They sat obediently in their grass nests, one by one, nibbling on somewhat shriveled fruits. You couldn’t imagine a more well-behaved and adorable sight.
After the baths, the parents left. Their grass nests were gone and needed to be rebuilt; otherwise, they would have to sleep directly on the ground tonight.
Qinghua went out to help too. She was at a loss with these soft, chubby little ones, so she could only call Qingcao, who was helping outside, to come in and assist.
Qingcao gathered many Beast Skins and brought them over. After Wu Yue fed the herbal water to each of the drowsy little ones, Qingcao covered them up.
The soft grass nests and warm Beast Skins instantly healed the trauma the great storm had inflicted on the cubs’ young hearts.
One by one, they fell asleep and started to let out soft purrs.
Only then did Wu Yue and Qingcao let out a breath, sinking wearily into a nearby grass nest and leaning against each other to rest.
Wu Yue couldn’t help but think of Hua Country.
’The cubs here are so obedient, even cooperating and being so good about drinking their medicine.’
Thinking back to the "Divine Beasts" of Hua Country, she couldn’t help but shudder.
’The parents and teachers of Hua Country really have it rough. "Divine Beasts" are not easy to raise.’
"Yue." The sunlight at the doorway was suddenly blocked, and the tall, handsome figure of a Beastman appeared in the room.
Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang, who was completely different from yesterday. The Beastman Warrior who had seemed like a sun god the day before was now covered in mud and water, looking quite wretched.
The stark contrast made Wu Yue’s eyes curve into a smile. "Is something wrong?"
At the sight of her obvious amusement, Yuan Lang sighed inwardly in resignation. ’This look, as if I’ve just been dredged up from the mud, really damages my handsome image.’
But...
"The Clan Leader and the witch sent me to get you. There’s something they need to discuss with you."
The Beastman’s voice was deep, with a hint of hoarseness.
Wu Yue frowned as she looked at him, then poured a bowl of medicinal soup from a nearby stone pot and handed it to him. "Here, have some water."
The brew had such a distinct herbal smell, yet she called it water. Yuan Lang couldn’t help but glance at her. "Water?"
Wu Yue nodded. "Medicinal water... is still water."
Yuan Lang chuckled lightly, tilted his head back, and drained the bowl. The medicine wasn’t as bitter as he had imagined; instead, it had a faint, almost imperceptible sweetness.
Setting the stone bowl aside, the Beastman looked down at her. "Let’s go."
